    Whats up with truck price's?

    All new vehicle prices have gotten outrageous. It's no wonder the used car dealers do such good business when most people can't afford to but new. There is a Cabela's edition F350 SRW CC/LB at the local Ford dealer that has a "sale" price of $52000. It's a pretty truck but not worth that...

    is there a difference between 2k & a 06 dash

    I'm pretty sure the basic structure under the dash is the same for the trucks 99-07. Just different trim pieces to the best of my knowledge. Looking at my 05 my to my brother-in-law's 03 they look the same.

    Roll Call Alaska!

    I know this is an old thread but thought I'd let you all know I'm here. Currently living in Soldotna but born in Anchorage and grew up in Fairbanks. I'm an Alaskan for life.

    2009 Super Duty HID install

    Glad to see the truck tells you the fuel level is low, just in case you couldn't figure that out from the gauge. LOL. Pictures never do justice to what you really see from behind the windshield after converting to HID.

    2009 Super Duty HID install

    Nice write up. I've been quite a few HID installs now on my own vehicles but never used the 55 watt kit. In my experience the 35 watt kit is plenty bright enough. The wiring harness is necessary to provide power to the mechanism to retract the bulb to change the beam. It also reduces the...

    Hello!

    Welcome to SDD. With a family of 4 the crew cab is kind of a no brainer.

    The conversion kits are universal, based on bulb style. 2005-2007 use H13 bulbs. Not sure about the earlier models. All the conversion kits come with the bulbs and ballasts. Installation is pretty much plug and play. Quick tutorial on HID. HID bulbs There are a four different...

    What temperature did you get? Did you get the dual beam or just single beam? I personally like either the 5000K or 6000K. I have 6000K in my headlight, 5000K in one set of driving lights, 4200K in the other set of driving lights and 3000K in my fog lights. The 3000K gives a bright yellow...

    Rear bumper build

    Nice work. That is very similar to the rear bumper I was looking at for the rear end of my Land Rover. One thing the Rover bumper offered was a cut out for the tail pipe to be rerouted through the bumper so it wasn't as exposed to damage on the trail. Seems like a waste to go through the...

    "Rapid-Heat" supplemental cab heater???

    I would but I'd more than likely end up destroying my HVAC system in the process. Custom fabrication is definitely not where my mechanical talent lies.

    "Rapid-Heat" supplemental cab heater???

    So who is going to figure out how to retrofit fit this to older trucks? Sounds like something that would be really nice to have here in Alaska.

    Batteries

    Both batteries are required to start the truck. The starter pull about 3 times the amperage of a gas engine starter. You can run your winch battery leads to either battery, depending on what ever is easier to get to.

    Adding Cab Clearance Lights

    The three light ID set is required by DOT on all vehicles over 80" wide. So all dually trucks are required to have due to width. SRW 1 tons are not required to have the ID lights. That only applies to the rear of the vehicle. There is no requirement anywhere for the clearance lights or any...

    I have to ask about hubs.

    You are correct. There's auto and lock position on the hubs. When the auto hubs work it's a beautiful thing. I really like having both options since you never know when something will happen and a vacuum line or hub seal will go leaving you without 4x4 if you can't manually lock the hubs.

    I have to ask about hubs.

    My 05 has the option of auto or manual hub engagement. I thought all Super Duties with shift on the fly 4x4 had the same thing.

    Adding Cab Clearance Lights

    Recon makes the LED clearance lights and they even have a kit with the wiring harness to plug in to the factory connector behind the passenger side kick panel. Check out Recon's website for more information.

    Will this work on my truck??

    Stick with the FASS. It's already proven and if you feel the extra fuel filtering is necessary why gamble on an unknown.

    Dome/cargo light no worky

    And the map lights built into the dome light are fuse #41 under the dash

    Dome/cargo light no worky

    Fuse #35 under the dash. It's marked as instrument cluster in the owner's manual. Only pulled about a dozen wrong fuses before I found the correct one.

    Dome/cargo light no worky

    I was putting my front dome light housing back in tonight and shorted the light to ground. Is there a fuse for the dome lights? Could I have sent a spike through both dome light bulbs and my cargo lights and ruined them all? I've looked in the manual and can't find anything. The map lights...

    gauge questions 05-07 interior

    I replaced my analog gauges with the Edge Attitude controller in my Dodge. I personally prefer the actual gauge because I find it easy to see where a needle is pointing than to read a number while driving. I was just reading something today about a test port on the side of the transmission...

    gauge questions 05-07 interior

    The stock tranny temp gauge is pretty much an idiot light with a needle. By the time it actually shows a problem you're already damaging the tranny. You add a separate sender for the aftermarket tranny temp gauge so it doesn't effect the factory gauge. If you don't want to use a pillar...
